Last year we started tinwhistle. First we learned the notes. Then we learned the crotchet (1 beat), the minim (2 beats) and the semibreve (4 beats). We got a scale for the tinwhistle. Then we started learing tunes. These are some tunes we have learned. Mary had a Little Lamb, London Bridge, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, The Wheels on the Bus, This old Man , Winter Wonder Land, Jolly Old Saint Nicolas, The Little Drumer Boy, The First Nowell and The Saints. We try to do tin whistle every day and we also do tin whistle for homework. We love tin whistle a lot. Here is a podcast of us playing some tin whictle tunes:

We looked at the story of Peter and the Wolf. It was written by Sergei Prokofiev. Each character in the story is represented by an instrument. Peter is the string instruments; the bird is the flute; Grandpa is the bassoon; the duck is the oboe; the cat is the clarinet; the wolf is the French horn; the hunters shots are the kettle drums. We went onto the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra Kids website to listen to the sounds of the different instruments. Mr. Quinn read the story of Peter and the Wolf to us last week. Today we looked at a video of Peter and the Wolf on YouTube. We all thought it was very good. It was a cartoon with the music in the background. We are making some pictures of a part of the story.

John Lennon was in a band called “The Beatles”. John wrote the songs. Then the band broke up. Then he became a singer by himself. He is a great singer. We listened to John Lennon’s song “Imagine”. It was great. We made an Imagine sheet. We wrote about what we imagined the world should be like.
